20 (10) Opening Lines
Thanks for the tag @fedonciadale, but i’ve only got 10 fics so that’ll have to do :P
1. Same as it ever was (Dramione, M, my current WIP)
The Headmaster’s office looked much the same as it always had; every inch of wall covered in either bookshelves or portraits, the penseive and other complicated and mysterious magical objects sealed away in a large glass cabinet, and of course, the enormous desk dominating the room.
2. The weather outside is frightful (Dramione, E, smutty snowed in oneshot)
“This is your fault, you know,” snapped Hermione, shivering as a bitter breeze sent a few snowflakes skidding through the gap under the door.
3. The Lesser Evil (Dramione, T, from a twitter prompt, Hermione tries blind dates while Draco watches with heart eyes.)
Hermione thanked the waiter as he showed her to the table, willing the butterflies in her stomach to calm down.
4. There’s a Kind of Magic in Masks (Dramione, E, Masquerade ball)
Ms Hermione Granger, You are cordially invited to a masquerade ball commemorating the tenth anniversary of the end of the second Wizarding War.
5. Earthly Delights (Pansy/Neville, E, set at the same masquerade, porn with feelings.)
Pansy wasn’t having a good night, and this fact made her more annoyed than any of the many little irritations that had led her to this point.
6. Reverie (Zutara- ATLA, E, my first longfic, Katara breaks up with Aang and visits Zuko on a whim, fluff ensues.)
It had all started with a cold.
7. An Education (My first Dramione, M, Hermione has to teach Draco about muggle stuff, belligerant sexual tension x10000)
Hermione sat on the plush seats outside the Minister for Magic's office.
8. T’was the Night Before Mercenary Day (Rhys/Fiona, Tales from the Borderlands, E, established relationship holiday smut.)
Rhys felt the tiredness in his bones as he trudged back up to his apartment, dragging him down as if he was in double gravity.
9. Echoes of Pandora (Rhys/Fiona, T, was going to be a longfic but is likely never going to be finished.)
Fiona never could help herself, she always had to know.
10. Too Close For Comfort (Rhys/Fiona, E, my first ever fanfic, short story starting with a drunken almost-kiss.)
Rhys and Fiona sat opposite each other in the makeshift Helios cafeteria.
I think my favourite is number 2. I love writing banter so much, which is probably why I got sucked into the inescapable black hole of Dramione in the first place. If you haven’t played Tales from the Borderlands, I would 10/10 recommend it, so, so funny. Telltale game set in the Borderlands universe, but you don’t have to have played the other Borderlands games to enjoy it.
Basically all the authors I know have already been tagged, so i guess anyone who wants to play!
